twopence

1801 to 1967

Values, images, and specifications for British

two pence coins from 1801 to 1967.

Only two years of United

Kingdom twopence coins

were minted for circulation,

under Victoria in 1838 and 1848, however many years

 were minted for Maundy

sets both prior to, and from

1801 onwards.

We have also included the 1797 copper twopence from King George III's era in this section, as it was circulating during the formation of the UK, and it is quite an interesting coin...

The 1797 'cartwheel twopence' was Britain's only copper

twopence, and also Britains largest circulation issue coin.

The other two circulation issue twopence

were both 92.5% silver, and minted for

use in the British colonies, so were not

technically UK circulating coinage.

1 twopence = 2 pennies

= 1/6 of a shilling = 1/120 of a pound
